1
Chill the Glass
Start by chilling a martini glass. Fill it with ice water and set it aside while you prepare the cocktail.
2
Prepare the Mixing Glass
In a mixing glass, add 2 oz of Ford's Gin and 1 oz of Dolin Dry Vermouth.
3
Add Ice
Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes, about 1 cup, to ensure the cocktail is chilled properly.
4
Stir the Mixture
Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds. This will chill and dilute the drink to the perfect balance.
5
Discard Ice Water
Empty the ice water from the chilled martini glass.
6
Strain the Cocktail
Using a strainer, pour the stirred cocktail into the chilled martini glass.
7
Garnish with Lemon Peel
Take a piece of lemon peel and express the oils over the surface of the drink by gently twisting it. Optionally, drop the peel into the glass as a garnish.
8
Serve
Your classic martini is ready to be served. Enjoy responsibly!
